Addendum to Written Scheme of Investigation for Historic Building Recording

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project background

1.1.1 Wessex Archaeology has been commissioned by Mr and Mrs Chapman (hereafter ‘the Client’) to undertake the required programme of historic building recording at Yew Trees Farm, Yew Tree Lane, Bolsterstone, South Yorkshire (hereafter ‘the Site’), in accordance with Conditions 3 and 4 of the Schedule of Conditions (APP/M9496/Y/19/3224901), and the submitted and approved Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI; The Jessop Consultancy 2019).

1.1.2 This document is an Addendum to the WSI produced by The Jessop Consultancy (2019) for a programme of historic building recording. The WSI was requested by the Peak District National Park Authority (PDNPA) in line with Conditions 3 and 4 of the Listed Building Consent, secured through appeal, as referenced above.

1.1.3 This Addendum sets out two areas of amendments which comprise the photographic record, and archive compilation and deposition. The Addendum conforms to current best practice stipulated in Understanding Historic Buildings: A Guide to Good Practice (Historic England 2016) and the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists’ (CIfA) Standard and guidance for the archaeological investigation and recording of standing buildings or structures (2019); as well as to the guidance outlined in Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MoRPHE, Historic England 2015a).

1.1.4 This document will be submitted to the Senior Conservation Archaeologist, Natalie Ward, at the PDNPA for comment and approval prior to the commencement of the recording works.

2 METHODOLOGY

2.1 Introduction

2.1.1 An analytical historic building recording will be made of the Yew Tree Farmhouse and Yew Tree Cottage (Yew Trees Farm), commensurate with the requirements of a Historic England Level 3 record (Historic England 2016), and in accordance with the WSI (The Jessop Consultancy 2019). This Addendum sets out the specific changes in methods from those previously defined within the WSI, and relate only to the photographic record, archive compilation and deposition. These are detailed below.

2.2 Photographic record

2.2.1 A photographic record will be compiled of Yew Trees Farm, commensurate with the requirements for a Historic England Level 3 survey (Historic England 2016), and will comprise: • a general view or views of the buildings in their wider setting or landscape; • the buildings’ external appearance. Typically captured in a series of oblique views to show all external elevations of the buildings, and give an overall impression of their size and shape. Where individual elevations include complex historical information, views at right-angles to the plane of the elevation may also be taken; • further views to reflect the original design intentions of the buildings or architect, if considered necessary, where these are known from documentary sources or can be inferred from documentary sources or can be inferred from the building or its setting; • the overall appearance of the principal rooms and circulation areas; • any external or internal detail, structural or decorative, which is relevant to the buildings’ design, development and use, with scale where appropriate; • any machinery or other plant, or evidence for its former existence; • any dates or other inscriptions; any signage, makers’ plates, graffiti which contribute to an understanding of the buildings. A transcription will be made wherever characters are difficult to interpret; • any building contents which have a significant bearing on the buildings’ history; and • copies of maps, drawings, views and photographs present in the buildings and illustrating their development or that of the site.

2.2.2 The photographic record will comprise high-quality digital photography using a Canon EOS 5D MkII or MkIII full frame digital camera (with 21 megapixel capability). A photographic scale of appropriate size will be included in all general and detailed views. All digital photography will follow the Historic England Guidance on Digital Image Capture and File Storage (2015b).

2.2.3 All photographic views will be recorded on copies of the Site or relevant ‘as existing’ floor plans. These will be complemented by photographic registers which will, as a minimum, give the direction of the view, location and a brief description of the subject.

2.2.4 The full photographic record, together with copies of the marked-up plans and the photo gazetteer will be included in the site archive. A selection of the photographic record will be used to illustrate the report. Plans showing the location of photographic plates used to illustrate the report will be included as figures in the report.

2.3 Archive

OASIS

2.3.1 An OASIS online record (http://oasis.ac.uk/pages/wiki/Main) will be created, with key fields completed, and a .pdf version of the final report submitted. Subject to any contractual requirements on confidentiality, copies of the OASIS record will be integrated into the relevant local and national records and published through the Archaeology Data Service (ADS) ArchSearch catalogue.

Preparation and deposition of the archive

2.3.2 The digital archive created as a result of the recording works will be fully cross-refenced and will be prepared to the appropriate nationally recommended standards (CIfA 2014). The resulting archive will be deposited with the Archaeology Data Service (ADS), as per the ADS’ Caring for Digital Data in Archaeology: a guide to good practice (2013); and Guidelines for Depositors Version 3.0 (September 2015).

Security copy

2.3.3 In line with current best practice (e.g. Brown 2011), on completion of the project a security copy of the written records will be prepared, in the form of a digital PDF/A file. PDF/A is an ISO-standardised version of the Portable Document Format (PDF) designed for the digital preservation of electronic documents through omission of features ill-suited to long-term archiving.

3 COPYRIGHT

3.1 Archive and report copyright

3.1.1 The full copyright of the written/illustrative/digital archive relating to the project will be retained by Wessex Archaeology under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 with all rights reserved. The client will be licenced to use each report for the purposes that it was produced in relation to the project as described in the specification. The ADS, however, will be granted an exclusive licence for the use of the archive for educational purposes, including academic research, providing that such use conforms to the Copyright and Related Rights Regulations 2003.

3.1.2 Information relating to the project will be deposited with the South Yorkshire Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) where it can be freely copied without reference to Wessex Archaeology for the purposes of archaeological research, or development control within the planning process.

3.2 Third party data copyright

3.2.1 This document, the historic building record report and the project archive may contain material that is non-Wessex Archaeology copyright (eg, Ordnance Survey, British Geological Survey, Crown Copyright), or the intellectual property of third parties, which Wessex Archaeology are able to provide for limited reproduction under the terms of our own copyright licences, but for which copyright itself is non-transferable by Wessex Archaeology. Users remain bound by the conditions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 with regard to multiple copying and electronic dissemination of such material.

4 HEALTH AND SAFETY

4.1 General

4.1.1 Health and Safety considerations will be of paramount importance in conducting all fieldwork. Safe working practices will override archaeological considerations at all times. Wessex Archaeology will supply trained, competent and suitably qualified staff to perform the tasks and operate the equipment used on site. All work will be carried out in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, and all other applicable Health and Safety legislation, regulations and codes of practice in force at the time.

4.1.2 Wessex Archaeology will supply a copy of the company’s Health and Safety Policy and a Risk Assessment to the client before the commencement of the evaluation. The Risk Assessment will have been read, understood and signed by all staff attending the site before any fieldwork commences. Wessex Archaeology staff will comply with the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements for working on the site, and any other specific additional requirements of the principal contractor.

4.1.3 All fieldwork staff are certified through the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) or UK equivalent and have had UKATA Asbestos Awareness Training. Key staff also have qualifications in the use of CAT and Genny equipment and as banksmen/Plant Machinery Marshalls through the National Plant Operators Recognitions Scheme (NPORS).

4.2 Insurance

4.2.1 Wessex Archaeology has both Public Liability (£10,000,000) and Professional Indemnity Insurance (£5,000,000).
